Lorne Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Fully bound neck, body and headstock, ebony fretboard, passive DiMarzio pick ups and individual saddle bridge system Nearly the same condition I bought it in, except 1 little ding in the front of the bass (Bloody kids), slight overspray on the headstock, otherwise, pretty much as new (don't quote me, you might find a surface scratch I haven't) Comes with the original B.C.Rich Hardcase and certificate of Authenticity The LIST price for these is over £3800, so looking for around £1750 plus shipping, but pick up form Devon is fine [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] Edited July 16, 2012 by Lorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You spelt it wrong, it's Bich Ok, one of them is a 1979 Bich 8 (the first year they started making the bass version). It currently has a wiring issue, it thinks it's out of phase when it is in phase and in phase when it is out of phase. It has a crack in the control cavity, but it hasn't moved since I put it there in 1992, very easy to strengthen from the inside, has come chips and a non original flight case. It is Koa with a flame maple neck and Brazilian Rosewood fretboard The other Bich is a very rare SUPREME version, "a bound Ebony fretboard and cloud inlays", this is a 1985 bass, one of probably only 20 Supreme Bich 8's made, the bridge is NOT original, I do have the original bridge and hardcase One of them might go, the '85 would be around £2000, possibly more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't need any more kids, sorry I have a feeling there will be a bit of a fight for the Spector when I put it up for sale, loads of people seem to want it Here's the story, I sold a bass, was going to pay some money off the credit card, found the Spector, some douchenozzle had Defretted it, and put the tuners in a Warwick fashion, I.E. pointing towards the body. I immediately discovered I suck at playing fretless, so had the fretboard sanded to remove most of the marks and had it refretted.It has a Spector hard case. It needs a new knob, one of them has lost some splines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The Spector has 4 holes in the back of the headstock for where the idiot slanted the tuners, one of the tuners ain't so pretty from the back, works fine though (G string Tuner - Schaller plate is pushed in a little) 3 or 4 tiny dings in the bass overall, probably some very minor scratches. Fretboard needed to be skimmed as the douchenozzle used Roundwounds when he defretted it, d'oh Brand new frets are in it, case is ok, has some tolex missing, a bit glued back down A new Brass Nut was cut and added to the bass due to the old one being filed down too much for fretless use Wings are SOLID quilted Maple. Neck is fine,, you might like to raise the action, I run all my basses LOW I don't do "Dibs" with me, it's first person that pays, Owns ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Mockingbird, it is a 1978 TJ Mockingbird, Mahogany Neck, Mahogany wings, All Original, Original case, Original Warranty card, Original Straplocks. Letter from previous owner of bass (2 owner bass - me being one of them) This bass was used in the Thin Lizzy video to "Do what you want too" from the Black Rose Album, I have 160 odd photos from that video shoot, a magazine that relates to the story too....Nobody will verify the bass, Scott Gorham couldn't remember sh*t, The owner of the company that lent them to Thin Lizzy couldn't remember sh*t, Brian Downey agreed with everything I told him, but couldn't put his name down to it as he couldn't be 100% sure, even though his manager was screaming in his ear "Brian, you can clearly see this is the same bass!!!". Their original manager it hard to track down. It IS the bass from the video though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
